Trying to cover up his sin, he caused people to die, and told Joab not to worry about it. But God knew what David had done and was not pleased.

After the Ark was returned, David wanted to bring it back so the people could get back to God. What can we learn from David’s worship that day? Is there room for reverence and awe in our worship? Are we rejoicing? I...
